THE TENNEY FAMILY. 



Our English Home. 

Our English home was Rowley on the Yorkshu*e Wolds, in the 
East Riding (a Saxon word signifying third) of the County of 
Yorkshire, England. It is situated near the great waterway, the 
river Humher, an estuary of the German Ocean, and is six miles 
from its south bank, twenty miles from Spurn-Head-at-the-Sea, and 
three hundred feet elevation above the sea. It is 53° 34' north lati- 
tude, 0° 10' west longitude, ten miles from the great commercial 
port of Hull, which lies on the north bank of the river Humber, and 
is the third port in England in size. It is six miles southwest of 
Beverly, to which union of churches it belongs. In 1852 a letter 
written by a lawyer residing near Rowley, England, gives the fol- 
lowing description of the place : 

" It is a hamlet containing about a dozen houses and some fifty or 
sixty inhabitants who are engaged in agiiculture. It has neither 
trade nor institutions ; with two other hamlets Hunsley and Bentley, 
it constitutes a parish. It is delightfully situated on the top of 
high hills called Yorkshire Wolds. It is noted as having a good 
church preferment, the living being worth about fifteen hundred 
pounds per year, and is almost a sinecure as to labor performed. 
Hence the gift is sought by clergy who desire leisure and good pay. 
It is said that Rev. Ezekiel Rogers was a leading divine in England 
in his day, and held charge at Rowley. It was probably a more 
important place in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries than now 
relatively. 

" The parish has five hamlets embracing 5,760 acres : Little Weton, 
where the chief part of the inhabitants live ; Riplingham, Hunsley, 
Bentley, and Rowley, which has a church (St. Peter's) and a rec- 
tory, but no inhabitants except the rector. Rev. Henry C. T. Hil-

yard and bis family. He accepted the charge of the parish in 1852, 
at wliich date the only church there, a very old, dilapidated struc- 
ture, was restored by the rector on his going there to reside. 

"The church is situated a few rods north of the road, one half 
mile from the station on the Hull & Barnslay Railway, and about 
thirty-one miles southeast of the old Roman capital, York." 

In the summer of 1896 Mr. Willis R. Tenney VIII \isited Row- 
ley, and took a snap shot of the church which dates back five cen- 
turies ; the tower is distinctly Xorman ; a portion of the main build- 
ing may date back a centvuy earlier. In the church is an old stone 
font of the twelfth century, and the workmanship is of much inter- 
est. Mr. Tenney was taken about by the rector, Henry C. T. Hil- 
yard, a well kei)t man, who died in September, 1898. 

In 103 8 Ezekiel Rogers and some twenty families of his parish- 
ioners came over to New England. Their ship was the John of 
London. Rev. Joseph Glover, the " Father of the American Press," 
was a fellow passenger, bringing the first printing-press ever shipped 
to America. The good man " reached his port before the sliip madfe 
land " ; but his press came, and is still preserved. (By J. L. Ewell, 
N. E. Magazine^ September, 1899, Vol. XXI, Xo. 1, page 9.) This 
is corroborated by the best authority. The late Hiram Harriman, of 
the Georgetoioi Advocate, informed me that he had carefully inves- 
tigated the above-named matter and that he was satisfied the state- 
ment was true. 

I accepted it from him as true and believe it true. (George B. 
Blodgette, Esq., historian of Rowley, Mass.) 

Rev. Ezekiel Rogers was a man of learning, very devout, pos- 
sessed of much zeal, and felt keenly the religious persecution of 
King Charles' order to the clergy to read in church the declaration 
of sports, in which the king directed that no hindrance should be 
thrown in the wa}' of those who wished to dance or shoot at the 
butts (a target) on Sunday afternoon. Puritan Rogers, aggrieved at 
this and other i)ersecutions, gathered to him in the parish of Rowley 
a compan}', Thomas Tenney and his wife, Ann, formed one family, 
for the purpose of emigrating to America, and succeeded in leaving 
England in the autumn of 1638. They arrived at Salem, Mass., in 
])ecember, 1638, where the company decided to remain during the 
winter and seek a settlement. In April, 1639, the company were 
joined by forty families, making sixty families. 



GENEALOGY. 9 

A settlement was made at Rowley, Mass.; the place was probably 
selected on account of its pleasantness, its nearness to the river, and 
the abundance of thatch that grew upon the river banks. In colon- 
izing they formed a community under the direction of their sphitual 
leader, Rev. Mr. Rogers, known as the Rogers Plantation ; after- 
wards, 4 Sept., 1639, the General Court ordered that the "planta- 
tion shalbee called Rowley." (Mass. Colony Records, Vol. 1, p. 
271.) 



Generation. 



I. 

Thomas Tenxey, a member of the Rev. Ezekiel Rogers' com- 
jiany from Yorkshire, England, arrived at Salem, Mass., in December, 
IGoS, and settled at Rowley, Mass., in April, 1639. (Gage's Hist. 
Rowley.) In a deposition taken at Ipswich, Mass., 4 May, 1680, 
3Ir. Tenney testifies in relation to an ox pastm-e in Rowley, and at 
that date he gave his age as about sixty-six years. (Ipswich Deeds, 
4 : 329.) This would have made him twenty-four years old when 
he emigi-ated to America with his wife, Ann, who was mentioned in 
the will of Deacon Thomas Mighill, as sister "Ann Tenney " and 
Faith Parrat, Sen., said will dated 11 June, 1654. Deacon Mighill 
of Rowley, Mass., brought with him, wife Ellen, who was bmied 
12 July, 1640, and the first person buried there. He married (2) Ann 
PaiTat, sister to Francis Parrat, who brought with him, besides his 
wife, Elizabeth, his sisters, Ann, who married Dea. Thomas Mighill,. 
and Faith, who married John Smith, and (2) William Law (Early 
Settlers of Rowley). 

Mrs. Tenney Avas buried 26 Sept., 1657. He mamed 24 Feb.,, 
1658, his second wife, Elizabeth, widow of Francis Parrat of 
Rowley. 

It does not appear that they had children. Mrs. Elizabeth Ten- 
ney received by bequest of Rev. Ezekiel Rogers £10 in 1660-1 
(Essex Deeds, Ipswich, 168). In the will of Robert Hunter, viz., 
"to Thomas Tenney I give 10 s, dated 5, 6 mo., 1647 : proved 28, 7, 
1647 (Ipswich Record, Vol. 1, leaf 25), Thomas Tenney, a witness 
to the will of John Smith of Rowley, 13 July, 1661 : on file No. 
22590, used only one e in Tenny." 

jS. survey of the town of Rowley was ordered the 10 of the 11th 
month, A. D., 1643 ; a committee of four freemen Avere appointed. 
Freemen were members of the church, taxpayers, voters, could hold 
office, and they only until 1664, when the law was abolished by the 
General Court. 



GENEALOGY. 11 

In this survey of 1643 an acre-and-a-balf house-lot on Ilohues 
street was registered to Thomas Tenney, " bounded on the south 
side by John Haseltine's house-lot, and the east end by the streete." 
(Gage, 123.) It was bounded on the north side by the two-acre 
house-lot of Robert Haseltine. This lot is now owned and occupied 
by the Primes, having been purchased of Daniel Tenney by Mark 
Prime in 1701, and has had a store thereon ever since. It is now 
bounded on the south by the homestead of George B. Blodgette, 
Esq. The house erected by Thomas Tenney, Senior, was torn 
down by Captain Daniel IST. Prime in 1838. "In a Survey of the 
Several Gates or Commonages belonging vnto The Severall Inhabi- 
tants of the Town of Rowley as They are now in possession," taken 
4 February, 1661, are the following entries to Thomas Tenney and 
his wife, Elizabeth : — 
" To Thomas Tenney as to an acre and halfe lot and one 

gate given by the towne, two and halfe . . . 2-halfe. 
purchased of francis paiTat, one gate .... 1-gate. 

pm'chased of the town, one halfe gate .... halfe gate. 
To EUzabeth Tenney alHas parrat, as belonging to 

francis parrat's two two Acre lot, seaven gates vnsold 7 Gates, 
piu'chased of William hobson Sixe gates ... 6 gates." 

In 1667, by division of the Island marshes, he received land.. 
(Gage, 150-1.) In 1670, by division of Merrimack land, he re- 
ceived land. (Gage, 347-8.) In a division of 1673-4 he received 
land. (Gage, 138.) There was no settlement on the lot northwest 
of Simon's Brook until after the day of Thomas Tenney, /Senior. 
(Blodgette.) This lot is one half mile east of Long Hill. 

The town in Oct. 22, 1677, records style him ensign, marshal in 
1653-66 ; warner of town meetings, 1650-53-60-61-66 ; overseer of 
plains, 1656-64-71; selectman, 1660-61-70; viewer of fences, high- 
ways, and chimneys, 1669 ; constable, 1665-66 ; tithingman, 1680. 
In 1660, on committee to see about the i^reservation of fire wood. 
(Gage, p. 144.) 1674-77, concerned in the affau's of Rev. Mr. 
Shepard. (Gage, p. 76.) In 1667, appointed to see that the Sabbath 
be duly observed. (Gage, p. 151.) In 1680 appointed inspector of 
ten families. (Gage, p. 152.) Several records of intervening years are 
lost, and there are no records of admission to the church for a period 
of twenty-six years. The church record may have been lost in the 
conflagration of Rev. Mr. Rogers' house. Thomas Tenney is in the

list of clmreh members under date of 1669, and may have been long 
a member. The last years of his life were passed in Bradford, 
3Iass., as seen by deed, viz. : "Thomas Tenney of Bradford (a gift) 
to Eldest son John Tenney of Bradford, sixty acres of land in 
Bradford, now in possession of John Wood, also three acres of 
meadow at Crane Pond in Rowley, also six acres . . . also one 
and one fom-th acre . . . also six acres and 2 cow-gates." 
Dated 15 June, 1694. (Essex Deeds, 13 : 119.) He died in Brad- 
ford 20 February, 1699-1700, and is buried in the Old Cemetery. 

This old burying ground was used in the first settlement of the 
town, and remained the only cemetery until 1723, when the East 
parish (now the town of Groveland) burial-ground was opened. 
The oldest stone now standing and decipherable bears the date 
of 1681. (L. A. Woodbury, Essex Antiquarian, Feb., 1901.)

Note. — Rowley, Mass., is situated thirty-two miles from Boston, 
via Eastern Railroad, with a station about one mile eastward from 
the village. It received its name from Rowley, Yorkshire, England, 
where the Rev. Ezekiel Rogers and some of his j^eople had lived. 
It was incorporated the 4th of September, 1639, and then embraced 
Bradford, Groveland, Georgetown, and Boxford. Most of the " by- 
laws and orders" were passed in 1643 and a few of a later date in 
1660. 

" Ordered : That all town streets be four rods wide, three rods to 
be kept clear of impediments, on a penalty of 5s. Ordered : That 
no person in the town shall fall, lop, bark, or girdle any tree on 
north or northwest side of any house or house-lot in the town within 
eighty rods thereof, upon the penalty of 5s. for every tree. Ordered : 
All persons appointed by overseers for town day work shall be 
ready at seven o'clock in the morning. In case of failure he shall 
pay 3d. an hour for lost time. Ten acres of land granted, for 
encouragement towards l)uilding a grist mill." 

A fulling mill was l)uilt about 1643. A plain meeting house was 
erected and church was organized the 3d of December, 1639- 



■'•/; 




GENEALOGY. 13 

(Hist. Essex, 356.) The earliest mention of a meeting house bell 
was in 1658, and this bell was suspended fi-om a frame near the 
meeting house. (Gage, 17.) And for sweeping the meeting house 
and for ringing of the bell, was granted a yearly appropriation of 
£2.10s. 

The earliest mention of a school was February 3, 1656-7, when 
William Boynton was engaged as a teacher for the term of seven 
years. He taught about twenty-four years. (Hist. Essex.) The 
earliest tax list preserved bears the date "ye 9th of Jime, 1691"; 
the first recorded marriage, 1639. The first physician in the town 
was in 1652. In 1680 there were one hundred and twenty-nine 
families in town. (Xason.) The town records are very full and 
complete. Not a leaf is missing from the books containing the 
entries of bu'ths, marriages, and deaths. (Hist. Essex Co.) 

From the beginning, Rowley was a manufacturing as well as a 
farming town. Many of the first settlers were weavers, and, in 
connection with the fulling mill, the production of cloth was long 
a profitable industry. As early as 1680, ship-building was carried 
on at the warehouse landing. 

About 1813, Capt. Perley built a vessel of ninety tons' measure- 
ment, on Rowley Common, one mile and a half from the river. 
This ship was named " Country's "Wonder," and was drawn to 
the river, in one day, by more than one hundred yoke of oxen. 
At the head of the warehouse road, the teamsters stopped for lunch^ 
and Capt. Perley emptied a barrel of old Jamaica rum into the 
Saxmders well, that all might drink. (Blodgette.)

the school committee. 

In 10S2 John Tenney was one of the 18 who formed the first 
church under Rev. Zachariah Symmes (Gage, 107). His name 
appears first in the list of deacons, chosen 13 Dec, 1702; in 1070, 
hent to attend the ordination at Amesbury, Mass. ; in 1098, appointed 
to settle the boun(h\rv between Bradford and Rowley. 

He was in 17t>l chairman of the committee of the proprietors of 
Uradfcjrd, to adjust the claims of the heirs of Musquonomonit alias 
Masehonnomet, Indian Sagamore of Agawam (Gage, 373-77). 

As early as 12 December, 1082, at "a private Fast held at the 
house of Urother John Tenney," an instrument was drawn jjrepar- 
atory to the gathering of a church, and from time to time brothers 
were nominated to provide elements for the Lord's Supper. Mr. 
Tenney serve»l on a committee "for ye good of ye town as to 
Hcttling ye Reverend Zachariah Symmes, and for the further carry- 
ing on the affairs of this town for a settlement of all ye ordinances 
of G«h1 in this i)lace." (Church Manual.) Voted by the town,

church committees.

hall and staircase ; to our soitow it is now owned out of the family. 
(Hannah Hills.) The following is from a diary of his youngest daugh- 
ter, Sophia (Tenney) Ordway : " Father was a fine singer, as were his 
children, eight of whom were singers of the choir at one time." 

He had a room in his house fitted for singing and instruction 5 
being anxious to educate his children he organized a school in said 
room, and fitted his son for Bradford academy. In 1775 he 
marched to Bunker Hill in charge of the baggage and provision 
wagon, under Capt. Nathaniel Gage. He was chosen deacon of 
Rev. Mr. Tappan's chvu-ch in 1783, retiring from active service in 
1811 ; he was followed by the same name, there being a Deacon 
Tenney in this church for a period of 109 years. "Father surely 
left a goodly inheritance to his children." 

In 1801 the church voted that Deacon Tenney be one of the 
deacons to read during the intermission from the following authors : 
Dodridge, Wadsworth, Davies, Walker, and Erskine. In 1804 he 
was one of a committee to survey the first parish for the most con- 
venient spot to build a meeting-house, taking into view all the diffi- 
culties in the various parts of the parish. (Church Record.) On 
the 10 April, 1805, he was chosen to provide for the Lord's table ; 
the child daughter was impressed by the mother's assistance in 
laying the church table. Many of the early chm-ch records were 
destroyed by fire. My great-grandmother was a handsome lady, 
and was born 31 Dec, 1751, and died 27 Feb., 1846, of cancer.

out of the Revolutionary war he mounted his horse and rode to the 
vicinity of Boston, amving in season to assist in dressing the 
wounds of the injured at the battle of Bunker Hill. He served 
through the war as surgeon, one year in a Massachusetts regiment, 
afterward in the Rhode Island line. He was present at the sur- 
render of Biu-goyne and of Cornwallis. He volunteered for the 
defence of Red Bank on the Delaware, himself using a musket, and 
dressed the wounds of Count Donop, who was mortally wounded. 
The Count delivered to him his pocket-book, remarking that he 
looked like an honest man. He returned to Exeter, thoug-h he did 
not resume professional practice. He had a sti'ong inclination 
toward j^olitical life, and was a member of the convention for form- 
ing the Constitution of ISTew Hampshire in 1791. In 1793 he was 
appointed judge of probate, which office he held until 1800, when 
he was elected a member of Congress, and in the town of Hancock, 
N. H., the 27th of October, 1800, he received every vote but one. 

He was a member of several hterary, historical, and scientific 
societies, to which he contributed articles for then- publication. For 
the Massachusetts Agricultural Society he wrote a much-approved 
ti'eatise on orcharding. He also wrote an account of the mineral 
water of Saratoga and a theory of prismatic colors. For his scien- 
tific description of the Dark Day, the 19th of May, 1780, see Mass.

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences has articles by Dr. 
Samuel Tenney. He was "a man of fine presence and of much 
dignity. His domestic and social relations were of the happiest 
character." He died 6 Feb., 1816. Dr. George W. Dearborn has 
to-day (Jan., 1892) concluded the purchase of the old Dr. Tenney 
property on Front street, between the town hall and the First 
chm-ch, from Frank H. Hervey, the present owner.

ninety-three years, daughter of Deacon Jeremiah Jewett, and aunt 
to C. J. Tenney, D. D. 

Mr. Tenney removed fi'om Rowley soon after April, 1793, to 
Topsfield, Mass., and about the year 1805, to St. Albans, Me. He 
had a great fondness for intellectual pursuits, and was desirous to 
obtain an education for the Christian ministry, but in this he was 
strongly opposed. This was to him a sore trial, of which he was 
accustomed, in after life, to speak with deep regret. Though he 
became a farmer, he was a thorough theologian, and but few, even 
among ministers, were so discriminating in this direction as he. He 
was not a cold speculator, but used the great doctrines of the Bible 
as a foundation for Christian experience and practice. He was very 
faithful in the religious training of his children, all of whom " be- 
came soundly orthodox, not only in head but in heart." (Rev. 
Samuel G. Tenney (VI). Mr. Tenney died 4 Sept., 1837. ChU-

meal-chest than it began to move by jogs of one or two inches so 
long as she kept at work. Other articles, to a heavy work-bench, 
would move from her. Twenty witnesses, who had seen the loaded 
meal-chest move and begin to turn the corner, were not to be put 
down by a theory, even by two clergymen. The girl was sent

The following is a postal addressed to Prof. Jonathan Tenney, 
Albany, N. Y. : 

TRUTHS THAT HAVE COME TO STAY. 

Any theory that divides mankind into contending sects and fac- 
tions is based on false premises. That belief in a supreme being, or 
its equivalent, the supremacy of spirit over matter, has had this 
effect, the history of the human family gives ample evidence. 
While mathematics, based on a balance of powers, unite all in a 



114 THE TENNEY FAMILY. 

harmonious whole, metaphysics, based on belief in sujDieme power, 
divide all into contending sects and factions, and to this rule there 
are no exceptions. The simple fact that the two conditions in which 
everything exists, whether called God and nature, spirit and matter, 
male and female, or by any name used to designate opposites, are 
interchanging relations, positive and negative conditions of the same 
thing, is as evident as that night and day are interchanging. That 
all vegetables are sexual, the tops and roots interchanging and bear- 
ing the same relation to each other as males and females in the ani- 
mal, and making a counterjjart to iis invisible, as necessary to animal 
life as the top is to the roots of the vegetable. 

Every organic form, whether worlds or their constituent parts, 
has its starting point in a central germ, and that germ the product 
of sexual union, or its equivalent. The wave of being that now 
constitutes the human family was evolved fi-om the central germ of 
om- planet, has passed through and in tui-n represented all the con- 
ditions of being that are following it, a fact fully demonstrated in 
waves of growth in all vegetable life. 

Interchange of sex vs. the supremacy of one over the other, as 
demonstrated in the roots and tops of all vegetable, is as sure to 
revolutionize public opinion in the not distant future as was the dis- 
covery that worlds are revolving spheres instead of being flat and 
stationary.

coui'se of scientific lectures with marvelous illustrations. Editor 
D. P. Livermore of Hallowell, in 1889, writes: "I saw, in 1817, Mr. 
Tenney produce a light identical with what is now called ' electric 
light,' the power from a battery of his own construction composed 
of zinc and copper. The wires were brought to the table, and the 
connecting points wei'e of charcoal whittled to a point; and when 
brought to the right distance by holding each point in either hand, 
2:>roduced a light so dazzling in the room that it could be sustained 
only a moment. It was at the same course of lectures that he pro- 
duced the gas light, at that time but little known in this country. 
All ajjparatus was of his own construction, and the ' air jDump ' I 
saw a year or two ago. Mr. Tenney was a man of ii-reproachable 
character, also chorister of the Congregational Church chou-." He

Judge Johx Searle Tenney, born on the ancestral estate in 
Kowley, Mass., 1 Jan., 1793, son of Enoch and Jane (Searle); mar- 
ried in Ips^\dch, Mass., in Feb., 1831, Hannah Dennis, who was 
born in 1793 ; died 20 Sejit., 1876. Residence, Norridgewock, Me. 
He fitted for college at Dummer Academy, graduated from Bowdoin 
College in 1816; judge of the Supreme Judicial Coiu't. Few men 
in the state were better known or more resj^ected ; a man of noble 
presence, of great force of character and mental power, delicate sen- 
sibilities, and associated with enterprises. In statiu-e six feet and 
three inches, his weight was two hundred and fifty pounds. He 
was the owner of the ancesti-al farm in Rowley, Byfield parish, 
which comprised over one hundred acres and passed to his daughter. 
It has always been occupied by some one of the name, with one 
exception, when sold, but soon taken back, " being homesick." The 
preseht house is the third built, and is about one hundred and fifty 
years old, and erected by Xathaniel Tenney, of the fourth genera- 
tion. It is two-storied, with front door in the middle, and com- 
prises thhteen rooms, with generous halls and closets, also two 
chimneys in the main part. An extra L has been added for the use 
• of a second family, and the well is equally distant from rear doors. 
Two buildings are used for carriage-house and shed ; a nice new barn 
on the opposite side of the highway is within convenient distance. 
One half of the house is occupied by Tenney furniture ; a tall clock 
and straight-back chahs which a city cousin might covet. From 
the attic, industry and economy could be seen, by loom, flax, and 
little wheel and wooden lasts. Shade and fruit trees are without a 
trace of a landscape gardener. The neighbors are in sight, and the 
farmer is one formerly employed by Judge Tenney. 

Since writing the above the farm has been purchased by IsT. N. 
Dummer ; he is of the Tenney blood as was his first wife. In May, 
1902, said estate was sold to Mr. Creighton, of Lynn, Mass., for a 
summer residence. A part of the house is occupied by the engineer 
of the Dummer mills. Judge Tenney died 23 Aug., 1869, and is 
bm'ied at Byfield in the family lot which has a large stone monu- 
ment. Children :

There were ten of us together. 

Children of New England soil. 
We had one father and one mother. 

And we lived by daily toil. 



208 THE TENNEY FAMILY. 

And at night oiir clear old mother 

Would sing some tender lay, 
Till we thought that Heaven and Eden 

"Were not so far away. 

But, alas! those days are vanished. 

And I often list to know 
Their loving Angel footsteps 

Of the dear and " Long Ago," 

Are still around my pathway; 

And I say, with brimming eyes, 
" They surely can't be happy, 

Unless I 'm with them in the skies." 

Then I cease my bitter doubting 

And I say, " 'Tis surely well. 
I will wait my time appointed, 
"When I with them shall dwell."

He was a well-known portrait painter. The first thirty-four jesivs 
of his life were passed on a farm, and he had no idea of any other 
occuj)ation until thirty years of age, when he saw a portrait of 
Slafter, which impressed him Avith a desire to copy. Succeeding, 
he sought living subjects which "infatuated" him, and he gave all 
leisure time to ])ainting. In the fall of 1844 Francis Alexander of 
Boston saw Mr. Tenney's first and later works, encouraged him in 
art, and received him for five weeks at his studio in Boston, which 
"was time and money well spent." From this all time was devoted 
to painting, in Hanover, Lebanon, Manchester, and Concord, N. H. 
Dr. Dixi Crosby of the Medical College was the first to patronize 
him ; then the Crosby family ; Professor I*eabody, a portrait ; Pro- 
fessor Young, Professor Brown, and others at Dartmouth College; 
Occum, the Indian convert, a large-size portrait ; two portraits of 
Rev. N. Bouton — one for Dartmouth College, the other for the 
lil)rary at Concord ; Hon. .lohn P. Hale, given to Exeter Academy 
l»y Dr. \Villard; also a copy of Phillips, the founder of the academy. 
I'nited States President Pierce's portrait was pronounced b}^ the 
newspapers a success, and a Boston man took a copy, also the Demo- 
cratic chib at Concord took several cojjies; a poor engraving of it

may be seen in Hawthorne's " Life of General Pierce." President 
Pierce's little son was a favorite portrait ; Col. Mason W. Tappan 
of the First X. II. regiment w^as also painted. Col. Jesse Gove's 
portrait hangs in the rotunda of the state house in Concord, in which 
building may be seen thirty pictures by this artist, — Governor Berry, 
Governor Prescott, Governor Stearns, Gov. N. Baker, Hon. E. H. 
Rollins, etc., also copies of colonial dignitaries. 

Mr. Tenney " painted in Boston, a little in New York, at Balti- 
more, and down the Mississippi river to Mississippi and Arkansas," 
where he passed a winter four years before the war, painting twenty- 
seven portraits. He removed to Winona, Minn., and for his "grati- 
fication " has painted from miniature President Lincoln, President 
Garfield, President Hayes, Secretary Windom, and A. A. Tenney. 
In 1854 he painted, at Newbury, Vt., the portraits of Col. A. B. W. 
Tenney and Mrs. Tenney.

thus writes : 



254 THE TENNEY FAMILY. 

"A female friend [Xancy Ilaseltine, afterward Mrs. Judson] called 
upon us this morning. She informed me of her determination to 
quit her native land forever, to endure the sufferings of a Christian 
amongst heathen nations, to spend her days in India's sultry clime. 
How did the news affect my heart ! Is she willing to do all this for 
(;od ; and shall I refuse to lend my little aid, in a land where divine 
revelation has shed its brightest rays ? I have felt more for the sal- 
vation of the heathen this day than I recollect to have felt through 
my whole past life." 

A few days later : " Oct., 23 Mr. M. introduced Mr. Xewell to our 
family. He appears to be an engaged Christian; expects to spend 
his life in i>reaching a Saviour to the benighted pagans." 

In the following April Miss Atwood received a formal proposal 
from Mr. Newell to become his wife. The letter called for an imme- 
diate answ^er. She was then in Boston, but hastened home to ask a 
mother's advice. With tears Mrs. Atwood said : " If a conviction of 
duty, and love to the souls of the perishing heathen, lead you to 
India, as much as I love you, Harriet, I can only say. Go." 

Ten days after their marriage they sailed from Salem, Mass., in 
the Caravan, for Calcutta, arriving 17 June, 1812. They found the 
East India Company violently opposed to missions, and within a 
short month were " ordered by the government to leave immedi- 
ately." The captain of the Caravan was refused a home clearance 
unless he took the missionaries Avith him. Finally they obtained 
liberty to go to the Isle of France, and the 31st of October they 
anchored at Port Louis, where they rented a house. 

" Oh, Memory's pencil-trace! 
Behold sweet Harriet Newell 's pensive face 
From out the background of the past arise, 
Her youug life beaxitif ul in sacrifice ! ' ' 

The name of Harriet Newell is as widelv known and revered as 
anv modern female. S^he was a heroine far above ordinary' hero- 
ines. (Book Note.)/ 

The day before her death she partook of the s\-mbols of the sac- 
rament, and then uttered these w^ords : " I have had it in my heart 
to do \\ lint I can for the heathen, and I hope God w^ill accept me." 
She died iMonday, 30 Nov., 1812. A little daughter, "Harriet," 
four days old, died a little before the mother. A marble monument 
has been erected over the grave of INIrs. Newell at Port Louis by the 
A. i;. C. F. M. liev. Samuel Newell died at Bombay in May, 1821.

the family removed to Laporte, Lorain county, Ohio. He early 
developed a remarkable memory. At the age of eight, attended a 
speUing contest of 150 old and young, carrying off the prize. This 
eight-year old son was apprentice in a printing office at Elyria, two 
years learning the " art preservative." When twelve, recited two 
chapters of Genesis and the fom- gospels, thus captm-ing the S. S. 
prize. At this age he entered a printing office at Hudson, O., with 
the pvu'pose of working his way through Western Reserve College, 
then located there, working half of the year and studying the other 
half. The proprietor soon required twelve hours a day, which was 
submitted to for two years. At fifteen he went to Madison, Wis., 
working at printing vacations and Saturdays. This enabled him to 
take four years at the university. He then determined to study for 
the legal profession, securing the means by a year as foreman in a 
prmting establishment. 

He entered the study of law, and the 11 Dec, 1855, being less 
than 21 years of age, was admitted to the bar, and same day formed 
a partnership. At thu-ty he removed to Chicago, 111., where he re- 
sided twenty-seven years. His specialty was commercial and cor- 
jjoration law, nine-tenths arranged on terms of peace. 

" Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war." 

If war Avas necessary he was always read3^ 

In 1897 he returned to Madison, where from the Tenney Block 
appears Tenneys, Hall & Swansen (D. K. and C. H.). He is an ar- 
dent Republican, refusing political and judicial positions. He has 
visited all parts of the world, "excepting Alaska," a humorous view 
often given in print and various booklets ; a diligent searcher for the 
truth, devoted to charities of a public and private nature. Remark- 
ably successful. Children :

When the tempest seemeth long, 
We will raise the cheerful song ; 
Life is only a little time, 
Aoid to live here is sublime. 

Faint not pilgrim. One is good, 
Though by man not understood, 
He would draw a path and say. 
This is only God's own way. 

Let them prate, but we will go 
Forward, and when we shall know. 
As the dear ones knoweth now. 
We with them will meekly bow. 

I have seen the loved ones die, 
They spoke truth, and He was nigh. 
Are we not our Father's own. 
Will He harm or leave us 'lone ? 

No, dear pilgrim, stay on Him, 
Though the earthly eyes are dim ; 
The fond spirit sees the light 
Breaking through the shades of night.

408 THE TENNEY FAMILY. 

In one of Mr. Tenney's European visits, in 1859, he made an effort 
to trace our family name, and, if possible, obtain the record of the 
clearance of the vessel that brought our ancestors to this country, 
but failed to find trace in the advertising office at Hull. 

Mr. Tenney found the sheriff at East Riding, Yorkshire, England, 
to be a Tenney by name — a most agreeal)le and cultivated gentleman 
— who informed him that the family tradition is that we are of Xor- 
man origin. 

The chm-chyard in the county town of Lincoln county bears the 
name of the family far back to the middle of the fourteenth century 
upon the headstones in that old cemetery. The Normans are char- 
acterized as the intellectual as well as the physical aristocracy of 
modern Europe, and it is this resistless energy, in the face of all op- 
position, combined with intellectual grasp, that has given to America 
the name of the vouno; Norman nation. 

He died at his Brooklyn home Saturday in his eighty-eighth year 
(1903). Children : 

4812 Maria Antoinette, b. 13 Apr., 1843; d. Aug., 1864.

Minneapolis, Minn., 13 ]\Iay, 1885, Dexter Thurber of Providence, 
R. I., son of Gorham Thurber, one of the founders of the Gorham 
Manufacturing Co. She completed her art studies in Paris as pupil 
of Jean Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant, 1897-98; specialty, 
portraiture ; her works on view from time to time at principal salons 
and exhibitions of Paris, London, New York, Philadelphia, and 
Chicago. Among her patrons in Europe are M. Emile Ollivier, 
president of the French Academy, and the Duchess of Sutherland. 

Since returning to America in 1901 she has been kept busy exe- 
cuting commissions for prominent people East and ^Vest, including 
a full-length i)ortrait of Lieutenant-General Miles, now in the Cor- 
coran gallery at Washington, D. C, and ])ortraits, officially ordered, 
of tlie ju-esidents of ]\It. ITolyoke and Western Colleges and the 
dean of Oberlin ; the portrait of the mayor of Providence, ordered 
by the city, and one of the governor of Rhode Island, ordered by 
the legislature for the state house. 

A competent critic says of JMrs. Thurber''s work : " ITer portraits 



GENEALOGY. 591 

are not less notable and meritorious as works of art than as si)eak- 
ing likenesses and character studies of her subjects, a combination 
which places her distinctly in the front rank of American portrait 
painters. Mrs. Thurber's power, both intuitive and cultivated, of 
interpreting her sitter — his personality, his mental attitude, and his 
})assing moods — is singularly complete in its develojmient and 
unerring in its application. This, coupled with an e<j[ually haj)py 
faculty of catching and fixing on canvas the facial expression of the 
sitter at his best [to which every subject is entitled at the hands of 
his chosen artist], largely accounts for the swift and distinguished 
success of this artist. 

" She finds particular pleasure in the painting of children, and 
shows her love for this branch of her art in the simplicity, vivacity, 
and naturalness characteristic of her portraits of these imeasy little 
subjects." Residence, Bristol, R. I. Children :

Appendix. 



Dkacox William Texxey, who arrived in America a jear later 
than his brother (Thomas Tenney, the colonist of 1638), settled in 
Rowley, Mass. ; and in "A Survey of the Severall Gates or common- 
ages belonging vnto The Severall Inhabitants of The Towne of 
Rowley," Deacon "William Tenney received land, also purchased, 
viz. : — 
" To William Tenney as to his acre and halfe lot and 

halfe a gate purchased of the town, two gates . . 2 Gates. 
Pm'chased of Mr. Edward Carlton that he had of the 

town for consideration of money lent ... 1 Gate. 

William and Thomas Tenney purchased of Mr. Phillij) 

Nelson 2 Gates." 

The acre and a half house-lot in the second division was between 
the lots of Mark Prime, on the north, and Thomas Miller, on the 
south, with the east end on the street. (Blodgette.) Mention of 
this follows. 

William Tenney was ordained deacon of the church in Rowley, 
8 Feb., 16G7-68, and held that office until his death. History refers 
to various offices of trust which he successfully tilled, and the faith- 
ful work rendered. 

ITis wife was Katherine (— ). In consideration of the mar- 
riage of his daughter, Mary Tenney, with Thomas West of Salem, 
Mass., to said West, William Tenney gives deed of sixty-seven 
acres of land in Rowley Village, now Boxford, ]\rass. Dated 31 
Jan., 1677. (Ipswich Deeds, 4 : 267.) Two days before his death 
he and wife Katherine of Rowley transfer for £39 to Humphrey 
Woodbury, Sen., of Beverly, Mass., fifty acres in Bradford, Mass., 
southeast of Merrimack river, also three aci'es in Crane raeado^v. 
(Ipswich Deeds, 5 : 245.) Dated 3 Aug., 1685. His wife, as execu- 
trix, acknowledged the deed 7 May, 1686. 

Deacon Tenney died 5 Aug., 1685. "Being weake of body," his 
will was dated 3 Aug., 1685; proved 29 Sept., 1685. To wife 
(unnamed), for her lifetime, he gave his house, barn, and house-lot, 
and some other lands. To three sons-in-law, and four daughters, 
Elizabeth, Mary, Ruth, and Sarah, also ne})hew, Samuel Tenney

end.

that portion of the estate whicli West Avas to receive with his wife 
Sarah, daughter to said Katherine, see Essex Deeds, 13 : 24. Dated 
30 Aug., 1688. 

Also, Katherine, widow of William Tenney of Rowley, deceased 
(she a resident in Bradford), as executrix of her husband's will, to 
her son-in-law, Thomas West of Bradford, for her support, transfers 
five acres in Rowley, 25 Oct., 1691. (Ipswich Deeds, 5:435.) 
Katherine Tenney, widow, of Bradford, by power of her husband's 
will, for her support, for £4 conveys to Rev. Edward Payson of 
Rowley two freeholds in Rowley, 9 May, 1698. (Essex Deeds, 
14 : 136.) By jjow^er of the will of William Tenney, deceased, 
widow Katherine, for £23, conveys to James Bayley and Samuel 
Prime, both of Rowley, one and one-half acre in Rowley, on Town 
street, house-lot where her late husband dwelt, and bounded " on ye 
East end on ye Towne Street, on ye Xorth side on land of ye said 
Prime, on ye West on ye brook that runs through ye town, and on 
ye South on land of Mr. Woodman." Transfer made for the widow's 
support. Dated 10 May, 1698. (Essex Deeds, 12:188.) Widow 
Katherine Tenney of Bradford transfers, for £16, to Samuel Platts 
of Rowley, one ox-gate in Rowley's ox-pasture, also two acres 
(called ye toarehoiise lot) in Rowley. Dated 3 Feb., 1698. (Essex 
Deeds, 12:188.) WidoAV Katherine died in Bradford, 13 Oct.,
